Unplug the coils, put the 18mm socket on it and an 18" breaker bar and let it rest against the ground and turn the motor over and it'll break loose.

How do you replace gasket seals at the timing chain area oil is leaking out in that area of my 1998 Nissan 200sx-se 16l?

If the oil is leaking from the timing chain cover behind the Harmonic Balancer (main large double pulley the belts run on). After removing the belts you need to remove the Harmonic Balancer using a puller, not to damage it, and then replace the seal in the cover. Inspect the back side of the Harmonic Balancer. The seal only seals to the shoulder of the Harmonic Balancer not the back face. If the shoulder's surface is not smooth replace it or it will leak again. Apply some light grease on the seal and mating surface of the Harmonic Balancer and reinstall. Re-install the belts. If it is leaking around the edges of the cover the sealant may need replacing. Also check the condition of the sealant around the oil pan. Both would require removal/cleaning and re-sealing.


How do you remove the crankshaft pulley on a 2003 buick lesabre 3.8 engine?

Its refered to as a harmonic balancer, and you have to have a special tool to remove it called (surprisingly) a harmonic balancer removal tool. The installation tool is a good heavy hammer and a block of wood. If you dont have access to this special puller, you can (and likely will) damage the harmonic balancer, so it would be best in that instance to take it to your local mechanic and ask him to take pull it off for you.

How do you Replace water pump on 94 Honda accord?

The water pump is located on the driver side, rear of the engine. It is driven by the timing belt, and is therefore a major project to swap one, and is beyond the scope of many shadetree mechanics. It involves removal of an engine mount, the timing and balancer belts, the harmonic balancer, etc. Consult a factory service manual.


How do you remove the balancer pulley on a 1992 Grand Am 3300 engine. The Haynes manual says not to use a puller?

If your talking the main harmonic balancer on the crankshaft, you will need a puller to remove that. I can't think of any pulleys that would allow you to pull them off by hand. Your local autoparts store will have a removal tool for more than likely around 20-25 dollars.


Changing a front oil seal on a 350?

This can be quite a job depending on the year of the vehicle. If it's an older vehicle things are a lot easier. Basically, you have to remove everything from the front of the engine so you can get at the harmonic balancer. If you are real lucky you may get by with just removing all the belts. On some vehicles you can get at the harmonic balancer from underneath the car or truck. One way or the other, you have to be able to get at the harmonic balancer. There is a 5/8" bolt in the middle of the balancer. Remove it and use a harmonic balancer puller to remove the balancer. At this point you can see the seal that the snout of the balancer went through. You need a seal removal tool to get the old seal out. Most rental places will have both the harmonic balancer puller and the seal removal tool if you don't. Get the old seal out. Now, take the new seal out of it's package and use a little motor oil on your finger to lube the rubber on the new seal. Put the new seal in using a hammer to tap it into place. This can be a little easier said than done sometimes. Use care not to damage the new seal. Try to get it lined up evenly and just tap it in a circular pattern to get it started. Once you have the new seal in... take a look at the snout of the harmonic balancer and make sure there is not a groove in it from the old seal. If there is one, head to your local auto parts store and grab a harmonic balancer repair sleeve. If all is well you need to use the balancer tool to put the balancer back on. Most balancer tools double as a remover and installer. Make sure you have the key on the crankshaft snout and the groove in the balancer lined up. Once you have the balancer back in place put the 5/8" bolt and washer back in. Use a torque wrench and tighten it to factory specs. If my memory serves me correctly it's 65 ft. lbs. on a chevy. But don't rely on my memory. Now just put everything back on the engine and you're back on the road. This may be a job for a mechanic if you have never done anything like this before. But, it's an expensive job. It's also a good learning experience to do it yourself and save several hundred bucks. The seal itself should be under $20.00 Take pictures of the front of the engine as you remove things. Better yet, get a buddy to video record as you go. It will be a big help when it comes to putting it back together. Also, label everything you can. It's usually a lot harder putting back together than it was taking apart. I would plan on making a weekend of it. Good luck, Guy


Infiniti i30 1996 starting problems?

Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a 1995 Ford Escort 1.9?

on the harmonic balancer you must remove the harmonic balancer and the sensor is inside The *Camshaft* (not the crankshaft) position sensor is located on the driver-side of the head on the firewall-side of the engine; possibly near the fuel injectors as the harness comes from the same wire-wrapping. You *will* need to remove the intake manifold in order to insert a replacement sensor. (you can cut the original for removal) Cam position sensors are usually very reliable however... may want to verify that there is not a short and that the wiring harness connectors are clean in addition to manually testing the sensor with a voltage meter and cranking the engine. Removing an inake manifold can be an uneeded hassle. The intake manifold's gasket keeps coolant in the head. The crankshaft position sensor by the way is located between 10 and 11 o'clock relative to the crankshaft damper (aka harmonic balancer). It may be accessed and replaced without removal of any engine parts.
